Wiper fuse click noise

[Chadd7]

Has anyone figured out how to silence the annoying click from the fuse box under the rear seats every time we turn on our windshield wipers? Please share.

Get a diesel, then you can't hear it.

add some insulation around the box ?

Find the offending relay and cover it thoughtfully with some dynamat or similar.
It's not an issue I've heard mentioned before.

Replace the relay with a Solid State version.

Replace the relay with a Solid State version.

I will ask chatgpt about that.

How hard is this to do? Sounds complicated from what I’ve read.

Slide a piece of Thinsulate SM400L (or whatever thickness you can easily get) over the relays under the back seat, notable difference in sound

With the right relay it's basically quick plug and play. Would take all of 15seconds. I haven't ID'd the relay because it hasn't rained here in forever. But if someone will take the time we can source the correct part. I will do it eventually, just been lazy and not a priority at the moment
